Don't, says writer in the N. Y. Times,
continue the practice of dripping the UNI
brella by the ferule. Turn it the other
way, that is, handle down when you come
in out of the rain. The general way is bad
for the umbrella, for it rots the material at
the conyerging point Of the frame wires.
Any umbrella man viii say that the proper
way is to let the water run from the frame
tips A good many w;ll object to this
good advice because they don't want the
pretty handle moistened. But the handle
will dry, or if not quick enough it woald
be better to wipe it. Umbrellas should
not be permitted to dry folded. Open
them to dry them

The Pacific ocean boundary of the United
States has greater extent of coast line than
the Atlantic shore. The aggregate of our
shore line on the Pacific is IL, 734 miles, while
on the Atlantic it is II 500 miles, and on the
Gulf of Mexico 6,S43. California contains
1,136 miles of the coast line on the Pacific,
while she has also 272 miles of island shore
and 24O miles of tide-river shore, making al
together 1,64S miles of shore line. Texas has
